Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to trending online, whether it’s for her acting career or her personal life.
The 27-year-old Euphoria actress recently shared her candid reaction to the constant attention she receives on social media, especially when she unexpectedly finds herself in the spotlight.
While speaking with Variety on Saturday, September 6, during the promotion of her upcoming film Christy, Sweeney was asked how she feels when she sees her name trending on different platforms. The Anyone But You actress laughed and admitted, “I’m like, ‘Oh! What for now?’”
Her co-star and Christy director David Michôd chimed in with a playful response, saying, “Yeah, that’s my reaction when I see Sydney is trending on social media. I’m like, ‘Oh God, what has she done?’”
The lighthearted exchange quickly gained traction online, sparking a wave of reactions from fans. Under Variety’s Instagram post, many users criticized the actress, referencing her recent controversies. One comment read, “What for now? Oh just racism lol,” pointing to her much-discussed American Eagle jeans advertisement. Another wrote, “I really don’t see how that’s funny after all the controversial things she’s done.”
However, not all comments were negative. Many fans rushed to defend Sweeney, praising her unbothered attitude. Supportive messages included, “Unbothered queen,” and “An absolute angel.” Another user added humorously, “She’s more attractive than you. Sorry you have bad genes.”
Beyond her professional projects, Sweeney has also been in the spotlight for personal reasons. Recently, rumors of her being romantically linked to Scooter Braun sparked widespread chatter online, further fueling the actress’s frequent presence in headlines.
Despite the mixed reactions, Sydney Sweeney continues to build her Hollywood career, balancing blockbuster roles with indie projects while navigating the challenges of constant media scrutiny. With Christy on the horizon, fans and critics alike will be watching closely—not just for her performances, but also for the next time she trends online.
